Badass Birthdays
On this date, in 1943, in western Pennsylvania, Joe Namath was born.
Namath was a quarterback in the AFL/NFL for 13 seasons, primarily with the New York Jets. He won two MVP awards and led the league in passing for several years. He won an AFL championship and Super Bowl, both with the Jets.
What makes him a badass though, is in Super Bowl III, he guaranteed his NY Jets would beat the Baltimore Colts, despite the Colts being heavy favorites. And the Jets did in fact win the game. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1985.
